System/Setting: D&D 5e/Forgotten Realms Ended: March 13, 2015 Tried my hand at D&D through the new version. This was a straightforward short campaign with very little depth and a lot of combat. My experience with D&D 5e was very pleasant but the adventure was just a little shallow for me.
System/Setting: Savage Worlds/Achtung! Cthulhu Ran this at RonCon Fall 2014. Very cool adventure but hard to fit into a 4 hour session. Because the players have multiple identities, a lot of prep work is needed. My review of this adventure on JustUs Productions The Gamer’s Codex.
I tried to make the board game a little more flexible and I also upgraded to minis.
Browsing through available movies, I found a gem of a movie that I really connected with. I have been running Actung! Cthulhu all year at every convention I have been at this year, and I just finished reviewing both the Investigator’s Guide and the Keeper’s Guide. When I saw the title, I was immediately drawn to it. Also, I have focused so strongly on old cheese, I felt that some new cheese was needed. The problem is that there is so much new cheese to choose from. Anybody with a 3D rendering program and a few friends who can half-way act is putting together a monster movie of some kind. And the Syfy Channel is buying them up, no matter how bad they are. It is like they are throwing cheese at a wall and hoping something sticks to make a market for it.
The Races Update A even more complete conversion. Added the d20 races from the Character Codex, 2 new races from other sources, updated existing races with new options. I added the Ascorbites, Etyri, Gannock, Hironem, Oro’ym, and the Shantor from the Character Codex. Against my best judgement, I even included the Oro’ym, and the Shantor….
PROJECT STATUS: ON GOING. Fading Suns True20: The Externals In my new campaign, The Mysterium Platonis, I have decided to bring in the Externals from Star Drive. They seem to almost fit perfectly although they seem a little overpowered. I am planning to design a small region of lost worlds that are under the influence…
Sisar Run Faction
Jumping through Memory Space Lane I have gone through some old notes and found the basic plot summary of this campaign. I transcribed it and it appear in the Source Material. It was a plot I was really looking forward to completing and wished I had. Maybe one day.
Using the Horror rules in the Revised edition book, there are several things I integrated into DC T20 that I think works well with the setting. Sanity and Fear (True 20 Adventure Role-playing, Revised Edition, pg 224) Use Fear and Terror as is in the rule book. Every creature and beasty has a Fear/Terror Rating…
Dates: 5/28/2014 to ?? Where: Grail, Island of the Dead Eaters After an encounter with the local Zhara’Caka, the group drew the attention from an unforeseen barbarian source. Someone has come to visit Grail wielding horrific power from beyond.
